I use App Backup & Restore, v3.2.0, which automatically backs up to any
given directory the moment an app is installed, whether by Fdroid or by any
other method.

There are so many app backup & restore apps, that the actual URL must be
mentioned so that others know which one I'm talking about:

Yikes. I can't find it anymore.

I *think* it's this "Apex Apps" one, but mine has nothing to do with
"contacts" so maybe they yanked the original???

I am with you totally in that the *older* apps are generally the *better*
ones, with respect to simplicity and lack of annoyances.

In fact, I can't even *find* the original mobi.infolife.appbackup app
versiopn 3.2.0(53) on the Google Play store anymore! 

In fact, that new app is *dangerous*, as this is what it says on the web
page!

 "Please take the SD card out before uninstall our app or all backups will
be deleted due to system restrictions". 

So, wow. This is a definite case where the new app is far worse than the
old app!

I'll be certain to NOT UPDATE that app!
